The chemical and product tanker Stenaweco Impulse was last Monday named at Langelinie Pier in the centre of Copenhagen in a solemn ceremony attended by guests from near and far. H.R.H. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was a proud godmother who, as tradition dictates, broke a bottle of champagne against the tanker’s bows and wished the vessel, her captain and his crew fortune and prosperity on the seven seas.

DNV GL announced today at the Posidonia trade fair that it has signed a contract to provide classification services for Stena Line’s new RoPax ferries, to be constructed at AVIC Weihai Shipyard in China.
